79. Complete Renormalization Group Improvement- Avoiding Scale Dependence in QCD Predictions

We show that all dependence on factorization and renormalization scales is removed provided that all the ultra-violet logarithms involving the physical energy scale ,Q, are completely resummed. In standard RG-improvement the renormalization and factorization scales are taken proportional to Q, if they are rather held independent of Q one is forced to identify and resum to all-orders the ultra-violet logs, and all unphysical scales cancel. A simple and direct method of extracting QCD lambda from experimental data is advocated, and the approach is applied to the analysis of e+e- data on jet observables over a wide range of energies, and fits are made to determine the likely size of uncalculated higher-order corrections, and possible power corrections.

91. Uncertainties of Parton Distribution Functions and Their Implications on Physics Predictions

We describe preliminary results from an effort to quantify the uncertainties in parton distribution functions and the resulting uncertainties in predicted physical quantities. Constraints due to the full data sets of the CTEQ global analysis are used in this study. Two complementary approaches, based on the Hessian and the Lagrange multiplier method respectively, are outlined. We discuss issues on obtaining meaningful uncertainty estimates that include the effect of correlated experimental systematic uncertainties. Implications on W/Z and Higgs production at the Tevatron and LHC are given as examples.

103. Leading particle production in light flavour jets

The energy distribution and type of particle with the highest momentum in quark jets are determined for each of the five quark flavours, with minimal model assumptions. The analysis is based on hadronic Z0 decays in the OPAL detector at LEP. We use our results to study the hadronisation mechanism in light flavour jets and compare the data to the QCD models JETSET and HERWIG. Within the JETSET model we also directly determine the suppression of strange quarks to be 0.422 +- 0.049 +- 0.059 by comparing the production of charged and neutral kaons in strange and non-strange light quark events. Finally we study the features of baryon production.

105. Charged multiplicities in Z decays into u, d and s quarks

About 4.4 million hadronic Z0 decays in the OPAL detector at LEP1 are used to determine the mean charged particle multiplicities for the three light quark flavours and to probe the flavour independence of the strong interaction. Rates of charged particles are measured as: 17.77 +- 0.52 (+0.86,-1.20) in uubar events, 21.44 +- 0.69 (+1.46,-1.17) in ddbar events and 20.02 +- 0.14 (+0.39,-0.37) in ssbar events (systematic errors are in parentheses). With a prediction of the next-to-leading-log approximation of QCD these numbers can be translated into flavour dependent values of alpha_s which are consistent with the expectation of flavour independence of the strong interaction.

113. QCD studies with e+e- annihilation data at 172-189 GeV

We have studied hadronic events from e+e- annihilation data at centre-of-mass energies of 172, 183 and 189~GeV. We present distributions of event shape variables, charged particle multiplicity and momentum, measured separately in the three data samples. From these we extract measurements of the strong coupling strength, the mean charged particle multiplicity, and the peak position in the ln(1/x) distribution. In general the data are described well by analytic QCD calculations and Monte Carlo models.

114. QCD Analyses and Determinations of the Strong Coupling Strength in e+e- Annihilations at Energies between 35 and 189 GeV

We employ data taken by the JADE and OPAL experiments for a QCD study in hadronic e+e- annihilations at c.m. energies ranging from 35 GeV through 189 GeV. The observables are obtained using the JADE, Durham, Cambridge and cone jet finders, and are compared with the predictions of QCD and Monte Carlo models. The strong coupling strength is determined at each energy by fits of fixed order and matched NLLA predictions to the data. We obtain 0.1187+-0.0034(stat.)+-0.0019(syst). The strong coupling is also obtained, at lower precision, from second order fits of the c.m. energy evolution of some of the observabless.

115. Test of the Flavour Independence of alpha_s using Next-to-leading Order Calculations for Heavy Quarks

We present a test of the flavour independence of the strong coupling constant for charm and bottom quarks with respect to light (uds) quarks. Five observables related to global event shapes were used to measure alpha_s in three flavour tagged samples (uds, c and b). The event shape distributions were fitted by second order calculations of jet production taking into account mass effects for the c and b quarks. We find the ratio of alpha_s from c events to uds events to be 0.997+-0.038(stat.)+-0.030(syst.)+-0.012(theory). The corresponding quantity between b and uds events is 0.993+-0.008(stat.)+-0.006(syst.)+-0.011(theory).

116. Experimental Properties of Gluon and Quark Jets from a Point Source

Gluon jets are identified in Z$^0$ decays as the particles in a hemisphere opposite to two tagged quark jets, corresponding to the definition of gluon jets in calculations. Quark jets are selected as the particles in hemispheres of tagged light quark (uds) events. For soft particles at large transverse momentum, the charged particle multiplicity ratio of gluon to quark jets is 2.29+-0.09(stat.)+-0.15(syst.), in agreement with the QCD prediction of about 2.25. Our gluon jet data allow a sensitive test of color reconnection. We test the model of color reconnection in the Ariadne Monte Carlo and find it to be disfavoured.

130. Combined recoil and threshold resummation for hard scattering cross sections.

The radiation of soft gluons by hard scattering processes in near-elastics kinematics accounts for large higher order enhancements to the partonic cross section, but can also significantly influence transverse momentum distributions via its recoil effects. We discuss how one may resum both classes of higher order corrections consistently to next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, based on a generalized refactorization of the partonic cross section near threshold. Results of numerical studies for prompt photon production and Drell-Yan will be presented.

142. A measurement of the b-quark mass from hadronic Z decays

The three-jet rate as well as moments of event shape variables are measured in hadronic Z decays from data taken with the ALEPH detector at LEP1, and the ratio of the results found in b-tagged events and in the inclusive sample is computed. Taking the three-jet rate, which is the optimal variable with respect to the size of the hadronization corrections, a next-to-leading order prediction including mass effects is fitted to the measured ratio and thus the mass of the b-quark is determined.

161. Inclusive Production of pi0,eta,eta'(958), K0S and Lambda in Two- and Three-Jet Events from Hadronic Z Decays

The production rates and the inclusive cross sections of the isovector meson pi0, the isoscalar mesons eta and eta'(958), the strange meson K0S and the Lambda baryon have been measured as functions of scaled energy in hadronic events, two-jet events and each jet of three-jet events from hadronic Z decays and compared to Monte Carlo models. The JETSET modelling of the gluon fragmentation into isoscalar mesons is found to be in agreement with the experimental results. HERWIG fails to describe the K0S spectra in gluon-enriched jets and the Lambda spectra in quark jets.

250. pi0, eta, K0 and charged particle multiplicities in quark and gluon jets

We compared the multiplicities of charged particles, pi0, eta and K0 in quark and gluon jets. The comparisons were performed for distributions unfolded to 100% pure gluon and quark jets, at an effective scale which accounts for topological dependence of the three-jet environment. The ratio of particle multiplicity in gluon jets to quark jets was found to be independent of particle species, consistent with the QCD prediction. In particular, we do not observe an enhancement in the eta production rate in gluon jets beyond that found for the other types of particles.

251. A simultaneous measurement of the strong coupling strength and the QCD colour charges

We performed a simultaneous measurement of the strong coupling strength alpha_s and the colour factors of the underlying gauge group of strong interactions, CF and CA. The measurement was based on fitting next-to-leading-order perturbative predictions to measured angular correlations of four-jet events, in combination with multi-jet related variables. Our results are in agreement with SU(3) expectations for CF and CA and with the world average value of alpha_s.

Di-jet production is studied in collisions of quasi-real and virtual photons at e+e- centre-of-mass energies from 198 to 200 GeV. The jets are reconstructed using a cluster jet finding algorithm. The inclusive two-jet cross-section is measured as a function of the transverse energy and the pseudorapidity of the jets and compared to NLO perturbative QCD calculations and to the prediction of Monte Carlo generators using different LO parametrisations of the parton distributions of the photon.

The scattered electrons have been tagged in the OPAL luminometers. The upgrade of four calorimeter modules in the very forward region at OPAL (z=7.8m) allows to study the virtual structure of the photon for 0.1 < P^2 < 1.0 GeV^2. The results are compared to Monte Carlo models using different descriptions of the P^2 suppression of the photon.

341. QCD-instanton induced processes in deep-inelastic scattering

Within our ongoing investigation, we have shown that deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) at HERA offers a unique opportunity to discover QCD-instanton induced processes. Based on instanton-perturbation theory, we were able to calculate the rate for the DIS regime, where the generic hard scale cuts off large size instantons, over which one has no control theoretically. The rate turns out to be in the measurable range at HERA, and a characteristic event signature is found: a ``fireball''-like final state with high multiplicity, high total transverse energy and including always strange particles. Constraints from a recent high-quality lattice simulation were exploited and translated into a "fiducial" kinematical region for our predictions based on instanton-perturbation theory. Now that preliminary results of first searches for instanton-induced events from the H1 collaboration are forthcoming, the present paper includes a careful study of known theoretical uncertainties of our predictions.

409. Top quark spin correlations at hadron colliders at hadron colliders correlations at hadron colliders

Future hadron collider experiments are expected to record large to huge samples of $t\bar t$ events. The analysis of these data with respect to $t\bar t$ spin-spin correlations requires precise predictions of the production of these quark pairs in a general spin configuration. We report on our computation, at next-to-leading order (NLO) in the QCD coupling, of the spin density matrices describing $t\bar t$ production by quark antiquark annihilation, which is the dominant production process at the Tevatron. The strength of the $t\bar t$ spin correlation at NLO, using various spin quantization axes will be discussed. Moreover, a brief outline of the use of these spin correltions in the search for new phenomena will be given.

422. QCD Calculations by Numerical Integration

Calculations of observables in quantum chromodynamics at next-to-leading order are typically performed using a method that combines numerical integrations over the momenta of final state particles with analytical integrations over the momenta of virtual particles. I describe the most important steps of a method for performing all of the integrations numerically. This method has been implemented in code for infrared-safe three jet observables in electron-positron annihilation and I show comparisons to results using the standard numerical-analytical method. I comment on areas where the flexibility inherent in the completely numerical method may lead to advances in the computational state-of-the-art.

444. Structure functions for a spin-one hadron and polarized antiquark distributions

Spin structure of the proton has been investigated in detail; however, there are few studies on polarized spin-1 hadron (e.g. deuteron) reactions in connection with spin-dependent structure functions. We would like to shed light on new structure functions which do not exist in the proton, for example, by the polarized proton-deuteron Drell-Yan process. This process has an advantage over lepton reactions in the sense that the antiquark tensor polarization could be extracted rather easily. Furthermore, it should be useful for finding antiquark flavor asymmetry in longitudinally-polarized and transversity distributions.

We present a measurement of the transverse momentum distribution of W bosons produced in proton-antiproton collisions at sqrt(s)=1.8 TeV. The data were collected by the DZero experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider during the 1994-1995 run, and correspond to 85.0 pb**-1. Based on a combined perturbative QCD and soft-gluon resummation calculation, we find good agreement between our results and theoretical predictions over the measured range of transverse momentum (0-200 GeV/c).

We compare our results with next-to-leading order perturbative QCD, which predicts an angular distribution of (1 +/- alpha_1 cos theta*+ alpha_2 cos^2theta*), where theta* is the angle between the charged lepton and the antiproton in the Collins-Soper frame. In the presence of QCD corrections, the parameters alpha_1 and alpha_2 become functions of p_T(W), the transverse momentum of the W. We present the first measurement of alpha_2 as a function of p_T(W). This measurement provides a test of next-to-leading order QCD corrections, which have a non-negligible impact on the measurement of the W mass.

DZero has previously measured the central inclusive jet cross section at sqrt(s)=1.8 TeV using the fixed-cone algorithm. The kT jet algorithm, based on a successive combination of jets, has recently been implemented at DZero. A preliminary measurement of the inclusive jet cross section at sqrt(s)=1.8 TeV using the kT algorithm, will be presented.

464. Probing BFKL Dynamics in the Dijet Cross Section at Large Rapidity Intervals in pbar p Collisions at sqrt(s)=1800 and 630 GeV

Inclusive dijet production for large pseudorapidity intervals (delta_eta) between the two jets has been suggested as a regime for observing BFKL dynamics. We have measured the dijet cross section for large delta_eta in pbar p collisions at sqrt(s)=1800 and 630 GeV using the DZero detector. The partonic cross section increases strongly with the size of delta_eta. The observed growth is even stronger than expected on the basis of BFKL resummation in the leading logarithmic approximation. The growth of the partonic cross section can be accommodated with an effective BFKL intercept of alpha_BFKL(20 GeV)=1.65+/-0.07.

465. Rapidity Dependence of Inclusive Jet Cross Section in pbar p Collisions at sqrt(s)=1.8 TeV

We report on a new measurement of the rapidity dependence of the inclusive jet production cross section in pbar p collisions at sqrt(s)=1.8 TeV using 92 pb**-1 of data collected by the DZero detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The differential cross section d^2sigma/dEt deta, is presented as a function of jet transverse energy (ET) in five pseudorapidity (eta) intervals, up to |eta|=3, thereby significantly extending previous CDF and DZero measurements beyond |eta|=0.7. The results are compared to next-to-leading order QCD predictions. The extended range of the measurement promises to provide greater discrimination among different parton distribution functions.

466. The Ratio of Dimensionless Jet Cross Sections at sqrt(s)=630 GeV and 1800 GeV

The DZero collaboration has measured the inclusive jet cross section in pbar p collisions at sqrt(s)=630 GeV. The data for pseudorapidities less than 0.5 are combined with data previously collected at sqrt(s)=1800 GeV to form a dimensionless ratio with smaller uncertainties. Although next-to-leading order predictions exhibit only modest agreement with the 630 GeV cross section, agreement is more satisfactory with the ratio. In particular, for most parton distribution functions, the dependence on transverse momentum is acceptable, but the absolute value disagrees with data by 10 to 15%.

We report a study of the ratio of inclusive three-jet to two-jet production cross sections as a function of total transverse energy, in pbar p collisions at sqrt(s)=1.8 TeV, for data collected with the DZero detector during the 1992-1993 run of the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The measurements are well described by next-to-leading order QCD calculations, and can be used to gauge the sensitivity of the calculation to renormalization scales used in modeling soft-jet emission.

470. Subjet Multiplicities Based on a kT Jet Algorithm

Using the DZero detector, we measure the subjet multiplicity M in jets reconstructed with a successive-combination type of jet algorithm (kT). We select jets with 55<ET<100 GeV and |eta|<0.5, and compare similar samples of jets at sqrt(s)=1800 and 630 GeV. The HERWIG Monte Carlo simulation predicts that 59% of the jets are gluon jets at sqrt(s)=1800 GeV, and 33% at sqrt(s)=630 GeV. Using this information from HERWIG, we extract the subjet multiplicity in quark (Mq) and gluon (Mg) jets, and find the ratio R=<Mg-1>/<Mq-1>=1.91.

487. Recent Structure Functions results from neutrino scattering at Fermilab

We report on the extraction of the structure functions F2, Delta xF3 = xF3(nu)-xF3(nubar), and R(longitudinal) from CCFR neutrino-nucleon differential cross sections. The extraction is performed in a physics model independent (PMI) way for the first time. This first measurement for Delta xF3 is very useful in testing models of heavy charm production. The F2 (PMI) values measured in the CCFR neutrino experiment are now in good agreement with the F2 (NMC) measured in muon scattering above Q2=1, thus resolving the long-standing discrepancy between the two sets of data. Comparison of the two sets of data below Q2=1, which provides information on the axial vector contribution is also presented. The CCFR values for (R=sigma_L/sigma_T) are in good agreement with muon and electron data for x>0.1. For x<0.1, R for neutrinos is somewhat larger than R from muon and electron scattering, as expected from the difference in charm production contributions. We also report on an inverstigation of R in neutrino scattering for possible anomalous large nuclear effects (at low x and Q2<1)) of the type recently reported by the HERMES collaboration in electron scattering.

489. SCREENING CORRECTIONS IN HARD DIS CHANNELS IN THE SMALL $Q^2$ AND x LIMITS

In as much as it is obvious that s-channel unitarity should be manifested in hard DIS reactions, it is not clear what are the kinematical scales at which unitarity saturation effects, such as screening corrections (SC), become important. While the DIS $\gamma^*p$ total cross section, or $F_2$, data are well reproduced by the DGLAP evolution with no SC signatures, there are compelling experimental indications by both H1 and ZEUS suggesting deviations from DGLAP predictions in the small $Q^2$ and x limits in specific diffractive channels. In this investigation we provide a detailed study of $J/\Psi$ photo and DIS production which is coupled to a parallel analysis of the $Q^2$ logarithmic slope of $F_2$. Our investigation is based on the observation that the $J/\Psi$ cross section is proportional, in the LLA of pQCD, to $(xG(x,Q^2))^2$. The contribution of $xG$ is dominant in the pQCD calculation of $\partial F_2/\partial \ln Q^2$ in the small x limit, enabling us a combined analysis. In the first phase of our investigation we have found that none of the latest editions of input parton distribution functions (GRV(98), MRS(99), CTEQ5) provides an adequate simultaneous description of both channels. We then proceed to show that if we take GRV(98)NLO input and correct it for SC, we obtain an excellent reproduction of the compiled high energy $J/\Psi$ data. The calculation depends on one parameter, the radius associated with the rescattering process, which is found to be $R^2=8GeV^{-2}$. With this input we obtain, also, a good reproduction of $\partial F_2/\partial \ln Q^2$. The SC are consistently calculated for both the percolation of a $\bar{q}q$ through the target and the screening of the gluon parton distributions which form the base of our calculation.

561. Study of direct-photon and neutral-pion production

We present a study of direct-photon and neutral-pion production in hadronic interactions, focussing on comparisons of the measured photon/pion ratio with predictions from NLO pQCD. We also compare the data with a phenomenological model that takes rough account of any additional soft-gluon emission needed to accommodate the data. With the recently reported large corrections from a resummation of soft-gluon contributions, a consistent picture appears to be emerging for the origin of the deviations from predictions based on NLO pQCD in inclusive direct-photon and neutral-pion production.

The data span the kinematic range of transverse momenta between 3.5-8 GeV/c. We compare the measured cross section with expectations from Monte Carlo QCD generators. The relative yield of omega to neutral pions is used to extract the ratio of vector to pseudoscalar meson production for the first generation of quarks.

592. A QCD analysis of polarised parton densities

We have analysed global data on deep-inelastic polarised lepton-hadron scattering. We find that it is possible to fit the data with strongly broken SU(2) flavour for the polarised sea densities. This can easily be tested in W production at polarised RHIC. The data fails to pin down polarised singlet sea quark and gluon densities. We explore the uncertainties in detail and show that improvement in statistics, achievable at polarised HERA for measurement of the A_1 asymmetry at moderately low values of x, have large payoffs in terms of the improvement in measurement of gluon and sea quark densities.

616. Inclusive Production of D* Mesons in Photon-Photon Collisions at sqrt(s)_ee=183 and 189 GeV and a First Measurement of F2^gamma_c

The inclusive production of charged D* mesons in photon-photon collisions has been measured using the OPAL detector at LEP at e+e- centre-of-mass energies of 183 and 189 GeV. For events without an observed scattered electron (untagged), direct and single-resolved events are studied separately. Differential cross-sections as functions of the D* transverse momentum and pseudorapidity are presented in the kinematic region 2 GeV < pt_D* < 12 GeV and |eta_D*| < 1.5. They are compared to next-to-leading order (NLO) perturbative QCD calculations. The total cross-section for the process e+e- --> e+e- c cbar where the charm quarks are produced in the collision of two quasi-real photons is measured to be 842 +- 97(stat) +- 75(syst) +- 196 (extrapol.) pb. Using the tagged events, the charm structure function of the photon has been measured in the kinematic range 0.0014 < x < 0.87 and 5 GeV^2 < Q^2 < 100 GeV^2. The result is compared to an NLO perturbative QCD calculation.

626. QCD Studies in e+e- Annihilation at sqrt(s) from 30 GeV to 189 GeV

We present results obtained from a study of the structure of hadronic events recorded by the L3 detector at various centre-of-mass energies. The distributions of event shape variables and the energy dependence of their mean values are measured from 30 GeV to 189 GeV and compared with various QCD models. The energy dependence of the moments of event shape variables is used to test a power law ansatz for the non-perturbative component. We obtain a universal value of the non-perturbative parameter $\alpha_{0}$ = 0.537 +- 0.073. From a comparison with resummed O(alphaS^{2}) QCD calculations, we determine the strong coupling constant at each of the selected energies. The measurements demonstrate the running of alphaS as expected in QCD with a value of $\as (mZ)$ = 0.1215 +- 0.0012 (exp) +- 0.0061 (th).

636. Measurement of the Probability of Gluon Splitting into Charmed Quarks in Hadronic Z Decays

We have measured the probability, Ng->cc, of a gluon splitting into a charm-quark pair using 1.7 million hadronic Z decays collected by the L3 detector. Two independent methods have been applied to events with a three-jet topology. One method relies on tagging charmed hadrons by identifying a lepton in the lowest energy jet. The other method uses a neural network based on global event shape parameters. Combining both methods, we measure Ng->cc = [2.45 +- 0.29 +- 0.53]%.

637. Correlations Between Particles from Different Ws in e+e- ---> W+W- events

The two-particle correlation function R(Q) has been measured in hadronic Z decays, fully hadronic WW decays and mixed hadronic-semileptonic WW decays using data collected by the DELPHI detector at LEP. Evidence for Bose-Einstein correlations was observed in all three cases; the parameters lambda and r characterizing the correlation in fully hadronic WW events are in agreement with those in mixed hadronic-semileptonic WW events, as well a> in a sample of Z decays in which the contribution from b-bbar pairs was depleted. Several techniques were used to perform measurements of correlations between particles arising from different Ws in fully hadronic WW decays. Having different degrees of model dependence, these techniques show an excess of particle pairs at low four-momenta difference in fully hadronic WW events, consistent with the effect expected from Bose-Einstein correlations between identical particles from different Ws.

638. The Running of the Strong Coupling and a Study of Power Corrections to Hadronic Event Shapes with the DELPHI Detector at LEP

Infrared and collinear safe event shape distributions and their meanvalues are determined at various centre of mass energies. Radiative events from the LEP1 data taking allow to access the energy regime from 40 to 65 GeV. The results of last years data taking at centre of mass energies from 192 to 202 GeV are presented. A phenomenological analysis of many event shape means and detailed tests of power correction models for both, meanvalues and differential distributions, are presented. Using power corrections and traditional Monte Carlo hadronisation models alpha_s is extracted in O(alpha_s^2), NLLA and matched theory. This allows for a measurement of the energy dependence of the strong coupling.

640. More About the Multiplicity of Symmetric Three-Jet Events

The multiplicity of symmetric three jet events in electron-positron- annihilation is measured in dependence of the event topology, with the Cambridge jet algorithm being used. The measurement is compared to recent theoretical predictions and the gluon contribution to the three jet multiplicity is extracted as a measurement of the multiplicity of a gluon-gluon-system N_gg at an adequate energy scale. N_gg is determined over a large range of scale and found to be in good agreement with other measurements at lower and higher scale values. The ratio of the multiplicites in gluon-gluon-events and quark- antiquark-events is sensitive to the colour factor ratio CA/CF.

An upper limit of 15% at 90% confidence level is determined for the pMpbar contribution.

689. Symmetry tests in polarised Z0 decays to b bbar g

Angular asymmetries have been measured in polarized Z0 decays to b-bbar-g collected by the SLD experiment at the SLC. A high purity b-bbar-g event sample is selected utilizing lifetime information given by the SLD CCD pixel vertex detector and the stable micron-size SLC beams, and the b- and bbar-jets are identified using lifetime information and momentum-weighted track charge. Forward-backward asymmetries are measured for two parity-violating observables, the b-jet polar angle and the angle between the quark-gluon and quark-electron planes, to test QCD. Two angular correlations between the three-jet plane and the Z0 polarization are studied. The CP-even and T-odd angular asymmetry, and the CP-odd and T-odd angular asymmetry are sensitive to physics beyond the Standard Model. We measure the expectation values of these quantities to be consistent with zero and set limits on the correlations at the 5% level.

690. Improved studies of b fragmentation in Z0 decays

We present preliminary results of a new measurement of the inclusive b quark fragmentation function in Z0 decays using a novel kinematic B hadron energy reconstruction technique. The measurement is performed using 350,000 hadronic Z0 events recorded in the SLD experiment at SLAC between 1997 and 1998. The small and stable SLC beam spot and the CCD-based vertex detector are used to reconstruct B-decay vertices with high efficiency and purity, and to provide precise measurements of the kinematic quantities used in this technique. We measure the B energy with good efficiency and resolution over the full kinematic range. We compare the scaled energy distribution of weakly decaying B hadrons with the predictions of several models of b quark fragmentation, and also test several hypothesized functional forms. We exclude many of these models and functional forms, and we present a corrected distribution with a small and well defined model dependence. The mean scaled energy is measured with a statistical precision of 0.003 (preliminary).

691. Measurement of the probability for gluon splitting into b bbar in Z0 decays

We report a preliminary measurement of the rate of gluon splitting into bottom quarks, g->b-bbar, in hadronic Z0 decays collected by SLD between 1996 and 1998. The analysis was performed by looking for secondary bottom production in 4-jet events of any primary flavor. A new secondary vertex-reconstruction technique was applied to each jet in order to identify b or bbar jets. The upgraded SLD CCD-based vertex detector gives very high B-tagging efficiency, especially for B hadrons of the low energies typical of this process. The two most collinear tagged b/bbar jets were considered as a g->b-bbar candidate and a neural network technique was used to remove backgrounds. We measured the rate of secondary b-bbar production per hadronic event, g_(b-bbar), with a statistical precision of 0.7x10^{-3}.

The structure of three-jet b-bbar-g events has been studied using hadronic Z0 decays recorded in the SLD experiment at SLAC. Three-jet final states were selected and the CCD-based vertex detector was used to identify two of the jets as b/bbar. The remaining jet in each event was tagged as a gluon jet, and distributions of the gluon energy and polar angle with respect to the electron beam were examined and were compared with perturbative QCD predictions. These distributions are potentially sensitive to an anomalous b chromomagnetic moment. We compare our data with theoretical predictions including such a moment and discuss experimental limits.

The SLD Cherenkov Ring Imaging Detector allows the identification of clean samples of charged pions, kaons and protons over a wide momentum range, providing precise tests of perturbative QCD calculations and of fragmentation models. In addition to flavor-inclusive Z0 decays, and decays into light, c and b flavors, selected using the SLD vertex detector, we have studied gluon jets, light quark jets and heavy quark jets in tagged 3-jet events. In addition we have compared hadron and antihadron production in light quark (rather than antiquark) jets, selected using the high SLC electron beam polarization. Differences between hadron and antihadron production at high momentum fraction provide precise measurements of leading particle production and new, stringent tests of fragmentation models.

Z0->s-sbar events were tagged by the absence of B or D hadrons and the presence in each hemisphere of a high-momentum K^+- or K^0_s. From the polar angle distributions of the strangeness-signed thrust axis, we obtained A_s = 0.895+-0.066(stat.)+-0.063(syst.). The analyzing power and u-ubar+d-dbar background were estimated from the data.

695. A Study of Correlations Between Identified Charged Hadrons in Hadronic Z0 Decays

We present a preliminary study of correlations in rapidity between pairs of identified charged pions, kaons and protons using the entire SLD data sample of 550,000 hadronic Z0 decays. Short range charge correlations are observed between all combinations of these hadron species, confirming local conservation of quantum numbers in the jet fragmentation process, and indicating charge ordering among these three particle species. The rapidity range of this effect is found to be independent of particle momentum. A strong long-range correlation is observed between high-momentum K^+ and K^-, and weaker long-range pi^+pi^, pi^+K^- and p-K^- correlations are observed in light flavor events, providing new information on leading particle production in u, d and s jets. The long-range correlations observed in c-cbar and b-bbar events are markedly different and consistent with expectations based on known decay properties of the leading heavy hadrons. In addition, the SLC electron beam polarization is used to tag the quark hemisphere in each event, allowing the first study of rapidities signed such that positive rapidity is along the quark rather than antiquark direction. Distributions of signed rapidity, and of the ordered signed rapidity difference between pairs of particles, provide new insights into leading particle production and new tests of fragmentation models.

696. A Study of the Polarization of Lambda Hyperons in Hadronic Z0 Decays

We present a preliminary study of the polarization of Lambda^0 hyperons produced in hadronic jets, along their flight direction and transverse to the plane defined by the initial quark direction and the Lambda momentum. We used a sample of 550,000 hadronic decays of polarized Z0 bosons collected by the SLD experiment at the SLC. The high longitudinal electron beam polarization allowed the determination of the quark (rather than antiquark) direction with high purity. The Lambda^0 -> p pi^- decay mode was reconstructed, and the transverse polarization studied as a function of its momentum and momentum transverse to the thrust axis. An upper limit on such polarization is presented. The predictions of fragmentation models are discussed.

698. Spacelike and timelike characteristics of hadronic processes in analytic perturbation theory

Analytic perturbation theory provides a self-consistent method of description for both the spacelike and timelike characteristics of hadronic processes. We consider the $R(s)$ ratio defined in the Minkowskian region and the $D$ function defined in the Euclidean region corresponding to inclusive $e^+e^-$ annihilation and $\tau$ decay into hadrons and demonstrate that the analytic approach allows one to reduce theoretical uncertainties associated with the renormalization scheme dependence of the truncated perturbative series dramatically. We analyze effects of the quark masses and the role of threshold singularities in the perturbative expansion. A new relativistic Coulomb resummation factor is suggested.

715. Multiplicity distributions of hadrons in gluon and quark jets

The solution of the equations for the generating functions of the multiplicity distributions of quark and gluon jets in higher order perturbative QCD is obtained. The results are compared to recent experimental data on the mean multiplicities of gluon and quark jets, their ratio, higher moments, and the slopes of multiplicities as a function of energy scale. The theoretical predictions are generally quite successful when confronted with data.

733. Constraints on the Proton's Gluon Density from Lepton Pair Production, the Drell-Yan Process

We discuss the transverse momentum distribution for the production of massive lepton-pairs in hadron reactions at fixed target and collider energies within the context of next-to-leading order perturbative quantum chromodynamics. For values of the transverse momentum $Q_T$ greater than the pair mass $Q$, $Q_T > Q$, we show that the differential cross section is dominated by subprocesses initiated by incident gluons. Massive lepton-pair differential cross sections are an advantageous source of constraints on the gluon density, free from the experimental and theoretical complications of photon isolation that beset studies of prompt photon production. We compare calculations with data and provide predictions for the differential cross section as a function of $Q_T$ in proton-antiproton reactions at center-of-mass energies of 1.8 TeV, and in proton-nucleon reactions at fixed target and LHC energies.

787. Next-to-leading Order Hadronic Structure From Constituent Quark Structure

We calculate the partonic structure of Constituent quark in the NLO for the first time. The structure of any hadron can be obtained thereafter using a convolution Model. It is shown that while the constituent quark structure is generated perturbatively and accounts for the most part of the hadronic structure, there is a few percent contribution coming from the nonperturbative sector. This contribution plays a key role in explaining the SU(2) symmetry breaking of the nucleon sea and the observed violation of Gottfried Sum Rule. These effects are calculated. Excellent agreement with data is achieved both for proton and Pion in a wide range of kinematics both in x=[10^-6, 1] and Q^2=[0.5, 5000] Gev^2.

802. Photoproduction of hard pions

We discuss photoproduction of hard, or high transverse momentum, pions. The pions may be parts of jets or---at the highest transverse momentum---may be kinematically isolated particles formed in short range reactions. We show how hard pion production can be useful for determining polarized gluon distributions and, at high x, quark distributions. Further, we study scaling and duality in semi-exclusive processes. We show that there are be kinematic regions where hard pion photoproduction will exhibit a scaling behavior and that local duality can be expected in the semi-exclusive case, akin to Bloom-Gilman duality in deep inelastic scattering.

843. Hadron mass corrections to semi-inclusive DIS

Hadron mass effects in the DIS play important roles for moderate and low $Q^2$. In the inclusive DIS, all target mass effects can be expressed in terms of a target-mass-dependent scaling variable, which gives the so-called Nachtmann moments in the moment analysis. In this work, we extend the results to the semi-inclusive DIS in the current fragmentation region. We show that all effects due to masses of target and produced hadrons can be summarized by the "best" mass-dependent scaling variables for the parton distibution and fragmentation functions.

The data was recorded in 1997 and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 15 pb^-1. The variation of the incoming positron energy due to initial state radiation is used to access the longitudinal structure function F L(x,Q^2).

945. Measurement of the Proton Structure Functions and the Gluon Momentum Distribution at low x at HERA

A high statistics measurement of the inclusive deep-inelastic positron-proton scattering cross-section is reported for four-momentum transfers squared 1.5 =< Q^2 =< 150 GeV^2 and for Bjorken-x values 3 x 10^-5 =< x =< 0.2. New H1 instrumentation in the backward region leads to substantially improved systematic precision as compared to previous data. The range of inelasticity y is extended towards low y ~= 0.004, into the region covered by fixed target lepton-nucleon scattering experiments, and towards large y up to 0.89 thereby providing a determination of the longitudinal structure function F L(x,Q^2). A QCD analysis of the H1 deep-inelastic scattering cross-section data allows the gluon distribution xg(x,Q^2) to be derived with improved accuracy at low $x$. The strong interaction coupling constant is obtained in Next-to-Leading Order in a joint determination of xg and alpha s(M Z^2) using H1 e-p and fixed target mu-p inclusive deep inelastic scattering cross-section data.

Deep inelastic ep scattering data is used to search for eq contact interactions at scales not directly accessible at HERA.

For conventional contact interactions lower bounds are set on compositeness scales Lambda^+- at 1.5 - 6.4 TeV and on leptoquark exchange for ratios of mass/coupling of order 1 TeV. A search for gravitational effects through the exchange of Kaluza-Klein excitations of gravitons which propagate into large extra dimensions results in lower limits on the effective Planck scale M S around 0.7 TeV.

A search is performed for events with an imbalance in transverse momentum and with an isolated high energy lepton in e^-p and e^+p scattering data collected in the 1998-2000 HERA runs. The analysis is motivated by the result of a similar search performed in the 1994-97 e^+p data, where one e^- and five muon events were found showing evidence for unseen particles carrying transverse momentum. Three of these events have kinematic properties atypical for the expected Standard Model background, which is dominated by W^+- production with subsequent leptonic decays.

Jet production in charged and neutral current events in the kinematic range of Q^2 from 640 to 25000 GeV^2 is studied in deep-inelastic scattering at HERA. The distributions of jet polar angle, transverse energy, jet resolution, dijet mass, and other dijet variables are determined. The measured jet distributions in charged and neutral current scattering are described by perturbative QCD calculations in next-to-leading order. A direct, model independent comparison of the jet distributions in charged and neutral current events, selected in the same kinematic range, is performed. The jet distributions in both processes are found to be compatible thus testing the independence of QCD dynamics of the electroweak scattering process.

The data cover a large range of the four-momentum transfer Q, which is considered to be the relevant energy scale, between 7 GeV and 100 GeV. The Q dependences of the mean values are compared with second order calculations of perturbative QCD applying power law corrections proportional to 1/Q^p to account for hadronization effects.

Differential cross-sections for inclusive pi0-meson production are presented as a function of Bjorken-x and the four-momentum transfer squared, Q**2, and as a function of transverse momentum and pseudorapidity.

1012. Symmetry violation of the polarized light-flavor sea-quark distrubution

For unpolarized parton distributions, the flavor symmetry of light sea-quarks is broken as seen from the NMC, the E866/NuSea and the HERMES experiments. But for polarized ones, is the symmetry of polarized sea-quarks of $主elta半ar u$ and $主elta半ar d$ also violated ? It is very important for solving "the proton spin crisis" to know if $主elta半ar u(x)$ is equal to $主elta半ar d(x)$ or not, and further to determine their own values. Here, we estimate the value of the difference between $主elta半ar u$ and $主elta半ar d$ from recent data of semi--inclusive processes with longitudinal polarized lepton beams and longitudinal polarized fixed targets measured by SMC at CERN and HERMES at DESY.

The experimental results are compared to theoretical predictions including NLO radiative corrections with mass effects and consequently a value of the $b$quark mass is extracted. The impact on the measurement of the various jet clustering algorithms is annalyzed with great detail. The systematic uncertainties of the measurement arising from the fragmentation process including the model dependence of HERWIG versus PYTHIA, the $b$-quark fragmentation function and the B-hadron decay tables are studied and reduced according to our present knowledge. Using the same annalysis the result is also interpreted as a test flavour independence of strong coupling constant.

1048. Measurement of the proton structure function F_2 in e^+p collisions

The proton structure function F_2 has been measured in e^+p scattering in the range 2.5 < Q^2 < 30000 GeV^2 using an integrated luminosity of 30~pb^{-1} with the ZEUS detector at HERA. The data were collected at a center-of-mass energy of 300 GeV. For Q^2 < 50 GeV^2, the measurement covers the range 5*10^{-5} < x < 0.17, providing considerable overlap with measurements from fixed target experiments. F_2 has been extracted from a data set 12 times larger than previously published. As a result the uncertainty in the measurement is systematics dominated for Q^2 < 800 GeV.

1049. Measurement of high-Q^2 neutral-current e^\+- p deep inelastic scattering cross sections and a first measurement of the structure function xF_3 at HERA

Neutral current deep inelastic scattering cross sections in e^-p and e^+p scattering have been measured using the ZEUS detector at HERA. A first measurement of the structure function xF_3 has been made by combining the e^-p data sample of 16 pb^-1, collected at a center-of-mass energy of 318 GeV, with the e^+p sample of 30 pb^-1, collected at a center-of-mass energy of 300 GeV.

1050. Measurement of high-Q^2 charged-current e^+- p deep inelastic cross sections at HERA

Charged-current deep inelastic scattering cross sections in e^-p and e^+p scattering have been measured using the ZEUS detector at HERA. The data were collected at a center-of-mass energy of 318 GeV and correspond to e^- luminosities of 16 pb^{-1} and e^+ luminosities of 40 pb^{-1}. The expectations of the Standard Model are compared with the results of the measurements.

1051. Measurement of the proton structure functions F_2 and F_L using events containing initial state radiation at HERA

Neutral current deep inelastic e^+p scattering events containing a hard photon radiated from the initial state positron have been studied with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 3.8 pb^{-1}. The proton structure function F_2 has been measured using such events in the kinematic range 0.3 < Q^2 < 40 GeV^2 and 8*10^{-6} < x < 1.8*10^{-1}. A first measurement of the proton structure function F_L has been made using an integrated luminosity of 34 pb^{-1}. The results are compared with the expectations of NLO QCD calculations.

1066. The structure of the photon and the dynamics of resolved photon processes in dijet photoproduction at HERA

Dijet photoproduction has been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 38 pb^-1. Jets with E_T^jet > 14 GeV are identified by means of a k_T-cluster algorithm. Differential cross sections are presented as a function of x_gamma^obs, the fraction of the photon's energy participating in the production of the two jets of highest transverse energy, and cos(theta^*), the angle between the dijet and beam axes in the dijet centre-of-mass system. Comparisons to next-to-leading order QCD calculations show that the theory underestimates the data for low-x_gamma^obs, indicating inadequacies in the photon structure parameterisations. However, the shape of the cross section in cos(theta^*) is well described, confirming the validity of the parton-parton dynamics in the QCD calculations.

1079. MLLA Measurements Using the CDF Detector at the Tevatron

Presented are studies of the jet fragmentation at CDF. Average multiplicities and momentum distributions of hadrons in jets are compared to and found to agree with the predictions of Modified Leading Log Approximation, which assumes the perturbative nature of the jet fragmentation down to momentum transfer scales as low as k T ~ Lambda QCD. Special attention was paid to extraction of the ratio r of charged particle multiplicities in gluon and quark jets, which was measured both in the context of MLLA calculations and in a model-independent way by analyzing jet-jet and gamma-jet data. The measurements are self-consistent and agree with the perturbative QCD predictions.

1080. Measurement of the Energy Dependence of Alpha s

The results from the CDF collaboration using data from the 1993-1995 Tevatron Collider run are presented. The statistical uncertainties are significantly reduced relative to the previous results and experimental systematics are comparable with the uncertainties in the theoretical predictions. Despite observed discrepancies with theory, which could be accommodated by modifications of parton distribution functions, the inclusive jet cross section could be described by perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics. The strong coupling constant is measured from the inclusive jet cross section. This is the first measurement which tests the running of alpha s over such a wide kinematical range in a single experiment from 40 to 450 GeV. The results demonstrate very good agreement with the QCD predictions.

1081. Recent Photon Measurements by CDF at the Tevatron

Several updated measurements of inclusive and exclusive photon cross sections are reviewed. The differences between previously reported results and updated results are described. The cross section for sqrt(s)=630 GeV inclusive photon production is compared to the 1800 GeV cross section and the results contrasted with the corresponding jet cross sections. The photon plus muon cross section measurement using the full run I dataset is described.
